You are correct, it wouldn't go in, that was what I was trying to show. It is the correct pin. Flywheel was locked in place. I found my reverse light switch. I couldn't get the pin in until I removed the belt and was able to turn the pump pulley. Was a tooth out maybe 2. Had to turn it clockwise...

Timing belt photos

Been out there and checked. Whoever suggested timing is spot on... Thank you. Tried with cover on. Put pin in fuel pump on 4 revolutions and every time there was no slot visible on the fly wheel. So. Cover now removed. Pump needed to be turned about 1 tooth clockwise to line up. Belt was way too...

finding tdc is not a problem and ive done a few timing belts in my time. I used to have a reverse light switch for the flywheel but I couldn't find it last time. more worried about having to learn about the air conditioning as I've not worked on a air conditioned 300 before. I expect it is going...

Don't know what a red box kit is. I have air con so life will be more difficult again I expect :(:(

Just been out and had a half hour ponder. Actuator fully operates with foot pump, 18 Psi( old halfrauds pump ) re-checked FIP diaphram and boost pin as I took it apart to clean all the oil out from the run away incident. all okay but all I know is the pin needs to face the 3 o clock position...

Hiya, thanks for your reply. I've not touched any of the fuel lines. Not touched the timing belt. I suppose the timing belt could have jumped a tooth with the over reving. not my first thought but could be.

The lever on the manifold works perfect but like an idiot I didn't check the actuator. i'll get a foot pump on it tonight or tomorrow. Thinking a compression test would be useful but I haven't got one :( Injectors are going to need testing too. not got that tool either :(

Lots of things to check. injectors for one. pretty sure all the hoses are good as i've removed them all and cleaned them all up. i had an old 300tdi kept stalling due to the inside delaminated. the elbow on the compressor housing. I initially thought it was oil but reading it could be completely...

I've been reading that white smoke can also be raw fuel not burning at all. Injectors possibly, or maybe the runaway goosed the fuel injection pump...?????

I gave up after two hours of welding washers and nuts and drilling holes. managed to get a second hand one in good nick. It just smokes like fag ash lil now!!!!

Oh dear, the repair is not as easy as I thought it would be. Its running. thats a start but with clouds of white smoke from the exhaust. okay idling but as soon as you drive it is terrible. it not coolant. that is fine. it's too hot too check anything now. what do you guys think. valve, rings...

Check engine forum on 300tdi, details and video there 👍👍

At the moment I can get a weld on them so I'll try that first. I'm going to fit the original one first so I can do it properly later. 😔😔

Everything is now stripped and cleaned. The turbo axle had snapped completely and bits of journal bearing floating around inside. Compressor housing was shot but had a spare. Exhaust has crack just inside where the impeller goes plus the impeller has worn that too. I have a perfect spare but two...

I've turned it over by hand and it seemed fine. Then when I checked my camera, low and behold the recovery scrotes have started it and moved it 3 times at the recovery yard. Even when the RAC key tag said "does not run." The first time I can hear one say to another. "Doesn't start. My arse!"...

Think I've done it. It kept saying can't read camera roll so I changed it from AVI to MP4 Remember I'm towing a live horse. My daughter was following me and had just called me to say about the extra black smoke.......lol

I'm not media savvy, I wouldn't know how to use you tube. Lol

I must be missing something, it upload as avi then I post and it's not there. It's there a mb limit or is Avi not compatible
